I received a pleasant surprise when I first bought your wonderful magazine. I started in with the second issue, but I wish I could get the first. All the stories are good. The best of them, I think, is Ray Cummings' story, "Brigands of the Moon." I have read the first three parts and am eagerly waiting for the last. And now for something about the make-up of the magazine. I like the small size, and holding the magazine together with two staples is good. The cover designs are very good, but the pictures inside could be improved on. H. Wesso is a good artist. How about publishing the magazine twice a month?--Charles Barrett, 135 Spring St., Woodbury, N. J. _Thanks, Anyhow!_ Dear Editor: I hope that you are not going to have a blue cover every month. I would like to see a different colored background every month. The cover on the March issue should have been black because space is black. I wish that you would have a full-page picture for each story. Wesso is the best artist you have. The others haven't enough imagination. I gave "Brigands of the Moon" by Ray Cummings first place in the March issue of Astounding Stories. It promises to be his best story since "Tarrano the Conqueror." The places of other stories are as follows: 2. "Vandals of the Stars"; 3. "The Soul Master"; 4. "Cold Light"; 5. "From the Ocean's Depths." If you would enlarge Astounding Stories to 11-3/4 by 8-1/2 it would be seen more easily on the newsstands and its circulation would increase. Please publish it on the first of the month instead of the first Thursday.--Jack Darrow, 4225 N. Spaulding Avenue, Chicago, Ill.
